An eyewitness to Wednesday's shooting of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was killed while standing guard at the National War Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, says he heard the shooter yell 'for Iraq'.

Hayden Trenholm, a policy advisor for N.W.T. Senator Nick Sibbeston, says he was on the plaza at the war memorial when he heard the first shot.
